A brain that In periodically narcotized is never in a norma! condition. A mouth that is trarned over with heated smoke has lost Its fine sense of taste, and is incapable of the more delecate appreciation of choice foods and drinks. The entire person of •n inveterate smoker is-likely to become offensive to the pure air for some dis­ tance about him. And the moral sense of one under the influence of tobacco on fiie brain is measurably deadened. ,No matter how common or how fashionable or how seductive is this custom, it is un­ natural and pernicious and disagreeable. Those who are already addicted to it are not likely to free themselves from its grip; for not one in a hundred has the power to do so if he would. But the young who are not thus enslaved ought to be encouraged to keep aloof from this bondage. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes re- Oentiy answered the question of a young nan, who asked whether he should smoke ilhe desired to do well in life: "Certain- Dot. It is liable to injure the sight, to Sender the nerves unsteady, to enfeeble the will and enslave the nature to an im­ perious habit likely to stand in the way <|t duty to be performed." Those who moke are to be pitied. Those who do •ot are to be congratulated. THE LARGEST! * >r v ^ ^ 1 ' .**' ... At? SBSSs'""' W- THE BEST! :w%mm 'fM: MUTUAL LIFE - / Insurance Company r Of New York.

HARNESS AT COST. f. v "l ^ ^ MIDNIGHT, Paoirg Stallion. Record. 2:17}. Baa the fastest rscord of any stallion in Northern Illinois. BBEEDTUG ov MIDNIGHT, 2:17^.-- Black horse, )5?s hands high; foaled 1886; bred by R. H. Pooler, Hernia, III Sired by digger Bov, be by Plymouth l;oek, 2:34, he by Hill's Black Hawk, 1st dam Starlight, could p"ce In 2:27, by McKay horse, dam of Midnight 2:17%; 2d dam, pacer, by Pharaoh, pacer; sire Richball 2:tS]i ; 31 <iam by Ethan Allen, In presentir g Midnight to thf> public I think I show one of the best Individuals ever offe ed in Northern Illinois. Midnight is a xrtnd good horse. He is a black, standing 15?,{ hand# high, will weigh 1075 pounds and of stately carriage. His head and neck are handsomely lined, his shoulders deep and well laid, his ithers carried well back, tbe barrel ot ex- eellent depth and splendidlv ribbed home; his loins remarkably good, and "at this very point we see too many horses very defective. A weak loin and coupling is a more serious de feet than any other point. We like to see a horse ma<i« there as if he could carry a ton. His legs and test good, pnints strong, and bone clesn He has quality, beauty and high finish. He has a world of speed. As a race horse none'an outla-t him Considering all these qualifications, no assumed, but demon- atrateu; JIB inheritance, his campaigning qualities, and his great speed producing pow­ ers, lam fully justified in thinking ihat Mid. night's prospects, when bred to good mares, are not exceeded by any horse of his age. Midnight came to McHenry Co., Feb, IB, 1883. unknown to horsrmen and breeders, but as a proof that the public was pleased with him I urea 78 mares before Aug jn, and re- fused 25 more, I started him but Ave timet in public, first at Dundee over a new half mile track, and drove him an easy mile in «;2«, last eighth in 15 sec. Hecond, at Mc- He>.ry, to beat 2:28: he paced in ?;23, Third, at Woodstock, by request of those the raca Id rove him one-half mile in l:fl9. tourth time, at bisfirnt race in '93 at Liberty ville, ha won seconu money, over a heavy track, ard was beaten by only a ueck by Proctor, 2:17. His I st race wasat Waukegan where tew n the free-for all pace and paced the last quar­ ter m three beats in ceconds, a2:0B"lip. Midnight's record, 2;172£, is no mark "of hit speed, he never bad a reason's work, always started in races after making a big seacon and with no preparation. T C R M I I i will etand him at a fee of (90.00; fin,00due when mare is Bale m foal, and §10 oodue when mare foals Parties trading mares a ter being bred will be held for full fee, |2«i.co, when mare is safe in foal.
